Vincent Synan, dean of religion at Regent University, contends that Jakes and Billy Graham are the only two evangelists who could pack Atlanta's 79,000-capacity Georgia Dome (both have), "but Graham has 50 years of fame and a great organization." Says Lee Grady, editor of the religious magazine Charisma: "We talk about someone being anointed. Jakes knows he's got a special trust...
There are issues in the U.S. too. In Nevada, where Rio holds a 40% stake in a mine operated and 60% owned by Placer Dome, the Environmental Protection Agency is concerned about groundwater contamination from current mines and the potential for future damage to sacred lands of the Western Shoshone.

...thought is this: Since both sides cannot live peacefully in the holy city, let neither have it. Vacate the Old City and its holy places - the Dome of the Rock, the Western Wall. Bring in the U.N. as a shabbes goy to tend them. The violent ardors that Jerusalem excites profane the place. They turn spiritual yearning into nationalistic fanaticism. The best human impulses (love, generosity) reverse their magnetism, and become the worst (hatred, violence...
